Slogan Explanation:

Japan is the islands of samurai, the fearless warriors who live to fight and to die honorably. Even though they are eradicated from the Japanese society, their spirit - courage, bravery, and skillfulness - remains in us. The slogan is asking that Japan to get militaristic. Military is the most important component of a nation that makes it strong. Through militaristic development, we shall not be pushed around as we were when the Americans came, and no more humiliation shall even reach Japan.
